Some sort of music I
guess.
BARBARA
That stupid book. All
right. But you start.
They stand over the grave, with spades poised. ADAM thinks for a
moment and then, as he turns the first spadeful of foetid earth,
he sings
BARBARA takes it up:
ADAM
"I've got rhythm...
I've got music..."
BARBARA
"I've got my man..."
EXT: MODEL GRAVEYARD -- NIGHT
ADAM & BARBARA
"Who could ask for anything more..."
DISSOLVE TO:
Sometime later. The grave is now nearly six feet deep, and ADAM
and BARBARA are invisible inside. We see the glint of the moon
on their shovel blades, and we hear them singing. By this time
ADAM and BARBARA have really gotten into it, and they're
performing a rousing, syncopated version of "I've Got Rhythm" as
the earth flies.
-- INSIDE THE GRAVE
ADAM suddenly hits wood.
BARBARA
It's about time.
They lean down and brush dirt off the face of the coffin.
There's a brass plate that reads SWALLOWTAIL.
ADAM
I guess we open it.
Right?
BARBARA and ADAM feel a slight tremor beneath their feet.
BARBARA
It seems to be opening
itself.
BARBARA and ADAM exchange glances, and then start clawing the
sides of the grave in an effort to escape.
-- BACK ON GROUND LEVEL
ADAM pushes BARBARA out, as the ground rumbles and we hear the
splintering of rotten wood. BARBARA helps ADAM out of the grave.
They have just risen to their feet, when a MOULDERING CORPSE
springs out of the grave, and jumps onto BARBARA's back, and
tries to implant a very large kiss on her lips.
ADAM pulls the corpse off BARBARA's back, and the MOULDERING
CORPSE does a Three Stooges hammer to Adam's head.
ADAM staggers backwards. The MOULDERING CORPSE, now between ADAM
and BARBARA, grins insanely at them both, and then flies high
into the air above their heads.
They turn to see where he has gone, and realize that the
MOULDERING CORPSE is merely a jack-in-the-box marionette on a
string and pole apparatus.
The pole is held by BEETLE JUICE. He is small and wiry, dark,
with vaguely Middle-Eastern features. Here, and whenever we see
him again at the beginning of a scene, his eyes are COLD and
YELLOW and SHAPED LIKE A SNAKE'S -- but after a moment, they
melt, becoming human, and liquid, and brown. This is definitely
not a spirit to be trusted.
BEETLE JUICE drops the pole and puppet, takes a long step forward
and produces a deck of cards.
BEETLE JUICE
Never mind him. Pick a
card.
